6. Roll up the jars with lids, leave to cool upside down, wrapped in a towel.

Delicious facts
– You can add chopped ginger root to the compote (along with oranges and apples). A piece of 1,5 centimeters in length will add a spicy taste and add vitamins and antioxidants to the drink.
– No need to peel the oranges – during cooking, essential oils will turn into compote and give a characteristic citrus scent. Apples should not be peeled either.
– More vitamins will remain in the compote if you squeeze the juice from the oranges before cooking and pour into the finished drink. The fruit rind, cut into pieces, is added to a saucepan with syrup.
– If the compote is prepared for the winter, the oranges are peeled. Zest and albedo – the white soft layer contains bitterness, which, when stored, turns into the drink. In order not to deprive the compote of the essential oils contained in the peel, it is added to the syrup at the first stage of cooking, and then discarded. The described option for preparing compote for the winter is called the “triple pouring method”.
